IMBENTO ni IMELDA: Grilled Pink Salmon with Toasted Garlic

KANI SALAD

Our favorite thing in the world, Kani Salad. 

Caviars on my salad gives a little saltiness on it, making it perfect with the sweetness of the mangoes and creaminess of the Japanese mayo. Plus those crab freaking sticks, oh-some! 

GRILLED PINK SALMON w/ GARLIC

My mom loves garlic. Actually, we all love garlic. It really helps to control our weight. But not for us, OK? Absolutely not for us. Definitely definitely not for us. 

Well the pink salmon has its own distinct taste. Sweet juice! Among all the omega-3-loaded and protein-loaded fish, this is my favorite. No doubt. 

After finishing my slab I suddenly asked my mom if we could keep alive salmon at home, but she said no. Ok fine. Just cooked for me more of these as often as possible. 

Happy eating!

IMBENTO ni IMELDA: Pork Tonkatsu with Japanese Mayo

PORK TONKATSU with Japanese Mayo

What makes this special is that Mama makes her own Tonkatsu sauce. Yes. She just mix Worcestershire sauce, tomato ketchup and soy sauce. Simply easy!

And my choice of adding Japanese mayo completes everything in my plate.

IMBENTO ni IMELDA: Chiken Pastel topped with Torched Cheese a.k.a. Tinagong Chicken

And so I'm back!! Oh-Yes I'm back. After almost 2 busy years, the last post here is July 2013 pa, I finally decided to write again. Not that I'm not busy, ok? Busy pa rin ako. In business as usual #stressed. Playing badminton and now tennis which I really, really enjoy playing. Ayun. Just want to exercise my yummy thoughts, un lang. 



This is not the first time that I'll be posting one of Mama's invented recipes. Meron din noon-noon pa. It's also one of the reasons why I want to revive this blog site because I want to give Mama credit for her sipag and tiyaga in researching and experimenting oh-so-yummy dishes. And to give highlight for her talent in cooking. Naks Ma! For the record, kinikilig siya pag pino-post ko ung mga luto niya.

Mama's Sizzling Gambas

December 2nd:

SIZZLING GAMBAS

Mama's Recipe

After devouring some meat, it is time for Mama to cook something less guilt-free dish. Seafood it is. And let's all salute her for her own recipe of Sizzling GAMBAS!

Mama should learn how to present her dish appetizing. Parang nalunod ung hipon sa gulay eh. 

But despite of the not-so-pleasing look of Mama's Sizzling Gambas, haha I love you Ma, it still tastes best. It's my favorite. And I don't care how it looks like, as long as it's masarap and niluto mula sa puso. (Yown)

And then she added her old-school recipe, favorite side dish, button mushrooms & kernel corn with worcestershire sauce. Simply the best!

Happy eating!

Mama's Sizzling Steak, 1st of December

December 1st:

SIZZLING STEAK w/ CAMPBELL's MUSHROOM GRAVY

Did I ever told you guys that my mom is a chef wannabe? So now I am telling you. She really loves to cook, besides from eating her own recipes of course, she really cooks everything, tries anything and yes, she's good at it. 

One of her favorite to cook is Sizzling Dishes. 

That's a tenderloin beef she got from S&R. I think it's 400 pesos for 2 large pieces of meat, enough for us 3. For the gravy, Mama used Campbell's mushroom soup and fixed it with some of her secret ingredients. Boom!

The beef is the best definition for tender and flavor. I highly recommend it to meat lovers like me. Then you can always pair it with your very own recipe of mushroom gravy, and some veggies for sidings. Feeling ko nasa I'm Angus Steakhouse kami.

Happy eating!
